In Canada, all toys intended for use in children 14 years of age and younger must comply with federal safety standards set forth in the Canadian Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), of which SOR 2011-17 is a standard for the physical and mechanical properties of toys. As a children's toy, magnetic building blocks are subject to SOR 2011-17 toy testing when exported to Canada to ensure that they meet the relevant safety standards.
The following is a guide to the SOR 2011-17 toy standard for magnetic building blocks in Canada:
1. Safety requirements for magnetic building blocks.
1. Magnetic strength: The magnetic strength of magnetic building blocks should meet the requirements of the SOR 2011-17 standard to ensure that children will not swallow or inhale small magnetic parts during use, causing intestinal blockage and other hazards.
2. Small piece test: The small piece in the magnetic building block should meet the small piece test requirements in the Canadian toy safety standard, that is, the small piece cylinder that cannot pass the regulations.
2. Labeling and warning requirements.
1. Warning labels: Magnetic building blocks should be accompanied by clear warning labels on the product or packaging to remind consumers to pay attention to the safety of use and avoid children from swallowing or inhaling small magnetic pieces.
2. Age recommendation: Magnetic building blocks should be recommended according to the age of children, so as to avoid the use of children of unsuitable age and cause potential safety hazards.
3. Testing requirements.
1. Choose the right testing agency: choose a testing agency with SOR 2011-17 toy testing qualification for testing to ensure the safety and compliance of the product.
2. Submit a test report: When exporting magnetic building blocks to Canada, you need to submit a test report and certificate to the importer or relevant ** institutions to prove that the product meets the relevant safety standards.
4. Ongoing compliance requirements.
1. Track regulatory updates: As toy safety regulations are constantly updated and improved, it is necessary to pay close attention to changes in relevant regulations and adjust product design and production processes in a timely manner to ensure continuous compliance with regulatory requirements.
2. Regular testing: Regularly test the magnetic building blocks according to the SOR 2011-17 standard to ensure the quality and safety of the products in the production process.
